WHAT IS IT?

It's our annual competition, now in its 25th year.

It's all about story. Write a great 2-page summary of your feature-length screenplay and submit it by midnight 31st March 2019. (We also ask for ten pages of sample script from any screenplay you've written or are currently writing.)

HOW MUCH TO ENTER?

WHAT WE DO AND DON'T ACCEPT

We do accept story ideas which can be turned into feature-length screenplays (which are usually about 90 minutes to two hours in length).

We do not accept treatments for short films, sit-coms, TV continuing drama series or radio plays.

This is NOT a UK-centred competition. Your stories can be set anywhere in the universe and you may enter from anywhere in the world (previous winners have come from Australia, Bulgaria and Mongolia).

The Euroscript Screenwriting competition pursues Euroscript's vision to improve the quality of screenplays available for production.

HISTORY OF THE COMPETITION

The Euroscript Screenwriting Competition was launched in 1994 under the auspices of the European Union’s Media II programme.

Producers throughout Europe complained that European scripts were going into production too early. In Hollywood, it was argued, scripts commonly go to 10 or 11 drafts whereas in Europe it’s substantially fewer.

In part, this is because European producers do not have the funds to pay writers to develop their scripts adequately. It was to meet this need that the Euroscript Screenwriting Competition was launched.
